Question 1

How are the leaderboards ranked?

Accepted Answer

Each board ranks stocks by a single metric or composite signal computed from the latest scoring run. ShareValue Picks uses the 4-pillar composite (Valuation + Quality + Growth + Health, weighted). Dividend Champions ranks by trailing yield with a quality screen. Growth Leaders ranks by growth-pillar score. 52-Week Highs and Lows rank by price percentile against the trailing 252 trading days. The ranking metric is named at the top of each board.

Question 2

How often do the leaderboards update?

Accepted Answer

Every weekday after the scoring pipeline completes (typically 03:30 ET nightly). Markets-closed weekends and holidays show the most recent weekday’s rankings; the dateModified stamp on each board reflects the actual last-refresh time so you can verify freshness at a glance.

Question 3

Are these recommendations to buy?

Accepted Answer

No. The leaderboards surface stocks that rank high on a specific quantitative metric today. They are a research starting point, not personalized advice. A high overall score on the value pillar tells you the stock looks cheap by traditional metrics; it does not tell you whether the cheapness is justified by deteriorating fundamentals or whether the stock fits your portfolio, time horizon, or risk tolerance. Always do your own due diligence before any trade.

Question 4

Why isn’t a popular ticker on a leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Three common reasons. First, the ticker may not be in the qualified universe (we filter for market-cap and listing-quality thresholds before scoring). Second, the ticker may not rank in the top entries for that board’s specific metric today (the leaderboards typically show top 20). Third, certain boards apply quality screens that filter out otherwise-eligible tickers (Dividend Champions excludes high-yield-low-quality dividend traps, for example). Search the ticker directly to see its current pillar scores.

Question 5

What is the difference between ShareValue Picks and Growth Leaders?

Accepted Answer

ShareValue Picks ranks by the composite score (all 4 pillars together), so a stock has to score well across Valuation, Quality, Growth, and Health to land near the top. Growth Leaders ranks by the Growth pillar alone, which surfaces high-growth stocks that may be expensive (low Valuation) or under-capitalized (low Health) but have the strongest revenue and earnings trajectory. Picks is the all-rounder; Growth Leaders is the growth-style cut.
